You might be the victim of this bug

A short excerpt of the bug summary:

I use ubuntu 11.04.
The version of evolution is : 2.32.2-0ubuntu7
The version of rss-evolution is : 0.2.2-0ubuntu1
When I open evolution without option, It freezes after 2 seconds, but when I open evolution with the command "evolution --disable-eplugin", It works.
So I think plugin evolution-rss is the problem.

Adding RSS feeds to Evolution can be done by going to Edit->Preferences->News & Blogs

Or, press the shortcut Shift+Ctrl+s and scroll down to select News & Blogs.

Next, Select Add and paste the URL into the field provided.

A new folder called "News and Blogs" will be created in the "On This Computer" section of the Evolution folder tree where your subscription feeds will be updated.
